.NET 7 API diff
Same procedure as every year: The latest .NET release packs new features. Lots of new features. These include C# 11 and (of course) new and improved BCL and framework library APIs. The updated versions of these libraries expand our toolbox further to aid us in solving engineering problems while also offering general performance improvements.
.NET 7 contains Generic Math (comprises many numeric interfaces and members), plenty of additions to Hardware Intrinsics, improvements to Regular Expressions + a Regex source generator, facilitation of C# 11's Required Members, better interoperability (e.g. JavaScript), polymorphic JSON serialization, a new ADO.NET abstraction (DbDataSource), TAR file format support, enhanced Immutable Collections, additional and faster LINQ, and much more.
So let's checkout the most prominent types and members in .NET 7 and put them to the (unit) test.
